Peripheral control device and method for controlling peripheral device

A setting apparatus comprising:

• a computer-readable memory configured to store computer-executable process steps;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the computer-executable process steps stored in the memory,
• wherein the process steps stored in the memory cause the processor to create a list of printer ports for display, and include computer-executable process steps to:
• judge whether a plurality of logical communication ports exists for a printer;
• display the list of printer ports without excluding a wireless port of the printer if it is judged unit that the plurality of logical communication ports for the printer does not exist, or to display the list of printer ports by automatically selecting a wired port of the printer such that a user can not select the wireless port if it is judged that the plurality of logical communication ports for the printer does exist;
• and
• perform setting of wireless communication using a wired connection that is established via the wired port of the printer when the printer is selected from the list of the printer ports.

A setting method comprising the steps of:

• a judging step for judging whether a plurality of logical communication ports exists for a printer;
• a selecting step for excluding a wireless port of the printer before displaying a list of printer ports so as to select a wired port of the printer if it is judged in the judging step that the plurality of logical communication ports exists for the printer;
• and
• a creating step for creating a list of one or more wire ports selected in the selecting step if it is judged in the judging step that the plurality of logical communication ports does exist for the printer such that a user cannot select wireless ports from the list, or creating a list of printer ports without a selection in the selecting step if it is judged in the judging step that the plurality of logical communication ports does not exist for the printer.

A setting method comprising:

• a judging step for judging whether a plurality of logical communication ports exists for a printer;
• a displaying step for displaying a list of printer ports without excluding a wireless port of the printer if it is judged in the judging step that the plurality of logical communication ports for the printer does not exist, and of displaying the list of printer ports by automatically selecting a wired port of the printer such that a user can not select the wireless port if it is judged in the judging step that the plurality of logical communication ports for the printer does exist;
• and
• a setting step for performing setting of wireless communication using a wired connection that is established via the wired port of the printer when the printer is selected from the list of the printer ports.

A computer-executable program stored on a computer-readable medium, the program comprising the steps of:

• a judging step for judging whether a plurality of logical communication ports exists for a printer;
• a selecting step for excluding a wireless port of the printer before displaying a list of printer ports so as to select a wired port of the printer for display if it is judged in the judging step that the plurality of logical communication ports exists for the printer;
• and
• a creating step for creating a list of one or more wire ports selected in the selecting step if it is judged in the judging step that the plurality of logical communication ports does exist for the printer such that a user cannot select wireless ports from the list, or creating a list of printer ports without a selection in the selecting step if it is judged in the judging step that the plurality of logical communication ports does not exist for the printer.

A computer-executable program stored on a computer-readable medium, comprising:

• a judging step for judging whether a plurality of logical communication ports exists for a printer;
• a displaying step for displaying a list of printer ports without excluding a wireless port of the printer if it is judged in the judging step that the plurality of logical communication ports for the printer does not exist, and of displaying the list of printer ports by automatically selecting a wired port of the printer such that a user can not select the wireless port if it is judged in the judging step that the plurality of logical communication ports for the printer does exist;
• and
• a setting step performing setting of wireless communication using a wired connection that is established via the wired port of the printer when the printer is selected from the list of the printer ports.
